Hi guys. I'm in New Zealand. - Jake

Hi guys, it has been four months. I’m living in New Zealand and studying English at Kaplan. I’m very happy with everything in New Zealand. It’s winter now and raining on and off everyday, so I should bring my umbrella in my bag everyday. Besides, winter is subject to sudden changes in a daily temperature. There is an saying "Four seasons in one day." Such an amazing weather!

Anyway, New Zealand people love rugby. They enjoy playing and watching rugby. Do you guys know the All Blacks? This is the national rugby team of New Zealand and the world best team as well. That's why they love rugby. Two months ago, I watched a rugby game at the Mt. Eden stadium with my friends. Spectators were very enthusiastic! But, I did’t know about rugby rules and players well. So I was bored... I’ll recommend you to watch a rugby game if you know about the rules well.

Let's talk about eating. I like eating out with my friends. I’ve been to many restaurants. There are lots of traditional restaurants, such as Thai, Mexican, French, Japanese and so on. You’ll feel like travelling all over the world. But the price is little bit pricey... Don't worry, you don't have to leave a tip!

Three weeks ago, I visited the Hobbiton, where A film "Hobbit" was shot, with my friends . There were lots of tiny things, which are fitted for dwarfs, like tiny houses. It was wonderful and nice! And a famous movie "The Lord Of The Rings" was filmed in the south island of New Zealand. Some people say it’s more interesting and nicer than the Hobbiton. So after graduating from the school, I’ll travel to the south island and go the shooting location. I can’t wait!
See you later.

Auckland City

Hi I am Abdullah I have been in New Zealand for three years. There are lots of interesting things to do here.

The weather is very changeable and you might see the four seasons on one day. And nowadays it is winter and I usually get wet before I go to home. The rain always destroys my plans for the weekend for e.g last week me and my friends decided to go to Mission bay. It is an awesome beach on Auckland. But It is rained so I stayed on my home watching TV. It was boring.

In New Zealand there are entertainment hotspots such as Queen Street, Mission Bay, Oraki Bay, New market and Albany Mall. On Queen Street there are shopping mall and other shops. Also a souvenir shops. Mission Bay is very nice beach. Oraki Bay it is peaceful and quiet beach. Albany Mall is the biggest mall in New Zealand and it is located in the north shore. New Market is alright there are a cinema, shopping mall and restaurants.

I also have been to Auckland museum and the Art Gallary in the city centre. There are amazing and lots of new things to see.

Hello everyone!  

I’m here in Auckland, one of the most famous countries in the world. I’ve been here for a couple of weeks. The weather is getting colder and colder. As many people say  about Auckland, you can find 4 seasons in  one day!  For me, that’s terrible.  How can it rains suddenly while it’s sunny? Unlike the unpredictable weather, people here are so terrific. Everybody nearby my homestay smiles and says “Good morning” at me every time I go to school. The host family is also very lovely and kind. Besides their  tidy and clean behaviour, people in New Zealand are very generous.  There are so many attractions in the town of Auckland.  Including  lots of entertainment hotspots. Such as, shopping centres, cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants,  etc.  Anyway public transportation is quite crummy. Each time I go to school, I have to sit in the bus for an hour! By the way. I enjoy living my kiwi way of life here. Can’t wait to go to Rotorua and Taopo tomorrow!

Until the next time.

Hello people .Hope you’re feeling good

Not much to say about my experience in Auckland .what I really like by Auckland that it’s a safe place and the people are friendly .I have been here for one year and I’ve done many new things like bungee jumping it’s exciting and funny I have visited some places like rotorua  , coromandle  and taupo they are fine to visit .another thing to say about Auckland that it has so many different nationalities so you can see and know new cultures and the food as well .

what makes me confused is the cars and the streets are the opposite than my country but I’m trying to handle with it .since I have arrived I have been looking for good clothes but I couldn’t find yet .I want to try kiwi food but I don’t know where . I have been eating take away since I have arrived. I’m feeling sick of take a ways . I want to be perfect with kiwi accent ,it’s awesome and fast but still difficult to me .anyway that’s what I can say for now.

Hello everyone :3

I’m going to write about my life in Auckland. Many strange things have happened to me since I arrived here. Everything is so different from where I came from. If I would talk about something impressing. Of course, it’s the transportation. Every passenger has a tidy behaviour. Also I can rely on the bus. They always come on time! The another different  thing for me is the weather. Here’s so extreme weather for me. In my country, the temperature is almost 40C degrees. But here’s just around 10C degrees!! Of course getting cold is better than hot. It’s pretty good for me. Sometimes it is heavy raining while being sunny at the same time. After stop raining, The rainbow comes! When the rainbow disappears, It turns to rain again. It’s usually happen like this almost the whole week. I hate getting wet from the rain. It’s such a terrible feeling when my socks get wet. It’s not easy to dry my socks after washing. Because the impossible thing is the dry weather. Poor my friends, Can you smell something  strange from my socks? Lol

Having said that, I love here <3

MY LIFE IN NZ

    Thursday     3^rd July

    Hi guys. How are you?

    I have been in New Zealand for one week. I study at Kaplan International Colleges. The school is awesome. I like it very much. In this school, I don’t need to get up very early. And I only have morning classes on Tuesday and Thursday, so I can do everything I like.

   In this school, only two students come from China, so it’s a great place for me to improve my English. Most students here are from Korea, Thailand and Brazil. I made friends with them, and they are very kind and friendly.   

   However, the climate here is so terrible. In these day, it was always rainy. I hate rainy days very much. I hope it won’t be rainy any more.

    Last Sunday morning, I went to Queen Street. It is really busting and lively. There are many kinds of shops there, I bought a lot of things. After that, I went to Waitomo Glowworm Cave. It is amazing. I expect to go there again.

     The environment around our homestay is quite beautiful. The air is much fresher than that in China. There are many trees and flowers. In a word, it’s great to live in NZ.

     Above all, I love NZ.

Auckland!

Hello everyone.

I‘ve been in Auckland for more than 6 months, so I wanna tell you guys about Auckland.

The weather is really changeable, someone said it has 4 seasons in a day. I think that’s true, you have to bring an umbrella everyday if you don’t want to be wet by rain. Also, I recommend you bring some jackets to keep warm in the evening. You can get cold, even it is summer!

I’m fond of cycling, so I bought a bike in January. I reckon, Auckland is quite pleasant place to do outdoor exercise because it has lots of green parks, fresh air and sometimes good weather. It made me buy the bike at that time, so I usually go to school by bike if it’s not raining. The rain is always problem here.

I wanted to talk about public transport, but it’s just vanilla. Nothing special here, so I’m going to write down about restaurants. It’s reasonable price, but sometimes quite pricy. A good thing is you can try a lot of kinds of food. Actually, I tried India, Mexican, Thai, Japanese, Chinese and Korean food. It was amazing experience for me. The food was terrific as well. If you haven’t tried them yet, you have you try it!!
